Hey guys I just picked up a 1999 yukon. Its in fantastic shape for being a minnesota truck and having 180k on it. Clean inside and out runs like a champ. The thing I dont like is the cloth bench seats front and rear. Literally 1st time ive seen a bench in front of a yukon but they're power and seem stock. So yeah. I decided id deal for the time being but the driver side bracket broke. So I'd like to use this as an excuse to replace the seats completely. Even though im a welder and could fairly easily fix it. Lol. Told the woman its a weird aluminum that requires different wire and gas to weld. Lol so she ok'd the cost of new interior. Problem is im having a hard time finding a clean 1996-1999 leather interior with no rips or tears. On the other hand ive found several newer interiors that are clean. Will a 2000+ interior fit? Or is major modification needed? How about the center console since I dont have one? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can swap them but I believe new holes will have to be drilled and tapped . The center consoles will fit between the seats just fine again new holes will be needed.

sorry for the late reply

BTW Make sure when posting its in the correct section you listed this question in the 2015 section , probably why it didnt get much attention .

Welcome to the forum Nice truck

All I can tell you is that I installed a third row out of a 2006 model in my 2000 limited tahoe and I had to make it all work but it is definitely worth it for an 8 passenger beast!

wannabe ricer in an suv.

cammed LS motor is ricer? :think:

OP....I've heard that you can take the seat brackets off your original seats and retro fit them to the 2000-06 seats. I've not found this out first hand yet but plan to with my '98.

Guess I pissed sunclitcomet off by offering my two cents on my upgrades to others. Don't understand what possesses people to hate on others. If I wanted to be a "ricer" I would just jump in my Lexus ISF and rip around. But I love my tahoe and my tasteful mods are reliable and great for packing in my kids and nieces to go on trips!
